Using Permalinks
-
Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings.
-
Permalink Types
-
three basic types of WordPress permalinks:
-
Default: "Ugly"
-
http://example.com/?p=N
-
where N is the Post ID number.
-
mod_rewrite: "Pretty Permalinks"
-
but the most common, and most versatile looks like
-
http://example.com/2012/post-name/
-
http://example.com/2012/12/30/post-name
-
PATHINFO: "Almost Pretty"
-
PATHINFO permalinks look very much like mod_rewrite permalinks but for one exception: they have /index.php inserted before them, like so:
-
http://example.com/index.php/yyyy/mm/dd/post-name/
-
Anything that mod_rewrite permalinks can do, PATHINFO permalinks can do, with the help of that /index.php part.
-
You never, ever put your site url in the permalinks slot. You must use one of the structure tags, or a combination of tags only.
-
Please note:
-
To activate PATHINFO permalinks, start your permalink structure with index.php/.
-
Structure Tags
-
Make sure to end your structure with either %post_id% or %postname% (e.g. /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/) so that each permalink points to an individual post.
-
%postname%
-
A sanitized version of the title of the post (post slug field on Edit Post/Page panel). So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI.
-
%category%
-
A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.
-
Category base and Tag base
-
The Category base and Tag base are prefixes used in URLs for category and tag archives, which look like this:
-
example.net/wp/category_base/category_name
-
example.net/wp/tag_base/tag_name
-
The default values for these are category and tag. You can change them, but you can't remove them from the URLs altogether.
-
Custom permalinks work on most systems without any problems, but there are still some conditions where problems occur.
-
Using %category% with multiple categories on a post
-
When you assign multiple categories to a post, only one can show up in the permalink.
-
The post will still be accessible through all the categories as normal.
-
Using "Pretty" permalinks
-
Requirements:
-
Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module installed
-
The FollowSymLinks option enabled
-
-
- An .htaccess file (if this file is missing, WordPress will try to create it when you activate "pretty" permalinks)
- If you want WordPress to update the .htaccess file automatically, WordPress will need write access to the file.
-
When you create or update a "pretty" permalink structure, WordPress will generate rewrite rules and attempt to insert them into the proper .htaccess file. If it can't, it will say something like You should update your .htaccess now and print out the rules for you to copy and paste into the file (put them at the end).
-
Where's my .htaccess file?
-
WordPress's index.php and .htaccess files should be together in the directory indicated by the Site address (URL) setting on your General Options page.
-
the file may not be visible through an FTP client unless you change the preferences of the FTP tool to show all files, including the hidden files.
-
Some hosts (e.g. Godaddy) may not show or allow you to edit .htaccess if you install WordPress through the Godaddy Hosting Connection installation.
-
Creating and editing (.htaccess)
-
If you are using FTP to transfer files, create a file on your local computer, call it 1.htaccess, upload it to the root of your WordPress folder, and then rename it to .htaccess.
-
The following permalink rewrite code should be included in your .htaccess file (since WordPress 3.0):
-
If your .htaccess file contains errors that bring down your site ("Internal Server Error (500)"), you will need to use FTP or your host's control panel to delete the rogue .htaccess file.
-
Automatically updating .htaccess
-
If you want to let WordPress do this, you'll need to give WordPress write access to the .htaccess file. The exact permissions necessary depend on your server setup. Try adding write permissions for the owner, then group, then world, testing after each change; once WordPress has edited the file successfully, don't add any further write permissions
-
After applying the permalinks, you should change the permissions to something stronger like 660 or 644 to prevent others on the server from potentially having access to it.
-
If this isn't an option, you can try PATHINFO permalinks; put index.php/ at the start of your custom permalink structure:
-
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
-
To make this option work on IIS, add these 2 lines to a php.ini file and store that file in your webroot :

-
Remember, each time you add a new static Page to WordPress, new rules must be generated and updated to .htaccess (WordPress 1.X) or to the internal rewrites array (WordPress 2.X).

Using %category% with multiple categories on a post
When you assign multiple categories to a post, only one can show up in the permalink. The categories are ordered alphabetically. In each group of sub-categories the order will also be alphabetical. (see Manage Categories). The post will still be accessible through all the categories as normal.
Try the WP Category Permalink plugin if you want to choose which category shows up in the permalink.

If you are using IIS 7 and have admin rights on your server, you can use Microsoft's URL Rewrite Module instead. Though not completely compatible with mod_rewrite, it does support WordPress's pretty permalinks. Once installed, open the web.config file in the WordPress folder and add the following rule to the system.webServer element
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <rewrite> <rules> <rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true"> <match url=".*" /> <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?page_id={R:0}" /> </rule> </rules> </rewrite> </system.webServer> </configuration> -

Permalinks, .htaccess, and MS Frontpage
-
dit your .htaccess file and add the following:

RewriteRule ^post/([0-9]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?p=$1&page=$2 [QSA]
-
http://yourdomain.example.com/post/(the ID #)
-
Avoiding interpretation as an archive link

one might never make more than one posting a day,

One needs at least %year%%monthnum%%day%%hour% to target an individual post.

Ageyron PointPermalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual weblog posts, as well as categories and other lists of weblog postings. A permalink is what another weblogger will use to link to your article (or section), or how you might send a link to your story in an e-mail message. The URL to each post should be permanent, and never change — hence permalink.

Default: "Ugly"
The default looks like

-
mod_rewrite: "Pretty Permalinks"
Using mod_rewrite or lighttpd you can produce much nicer permalinks (see Pretty Permalinks). There are many different formats, but the most common, and most versatile looks like
http://example.com/category/post-name/ or http://example.com/year/month/day/post-name
-
Some people eliminate some or all of the date elements (day, month, year) to have a shorter permalink format
-
- pache web server with the mod_rewrite module
- Microsoft IIS 7+ web server with the URL Rewrite 1.1+ module and PHP 5 running as FastCGI
- Microsoft IIS 6+ using ASAPI_Rewrite
- Lighttpd using a 404 handler or mod_rewrite or mod_magnet (see External sources)
-
hen you assign multiple categories to a post, only one can show up in the permalink. This will be the lowest numbered category (see Manage Categories). The post will still be accessible through all the categories as normal.
-
The same thing applies to using the %tag% field in your permalink structure.
-
- Apache web server with the mod_rewrite module installed
- In WordPress's home directory,
- The FollowSymLinks option enabled
- FileInfo directives allowed (e.g.
AllowOverride FileInfoorAllowOverride All) - An .htaccess file (if this file is missing, WordPress will try to create it when you activate "pretty" permalinks)
- If you want WordPress to update the .htaccess file automatically, WordPress will need write access to the file.
-
When you create or update a "pretty" permalink structure, WordPress will generate rewrite rules and attempt to insert them into the proper .htaccess file. If it can't, it will say something like You should update your .htaccess now and print out the rules for you to copy and paste into the file (put them at the end).

Users of XAMPP (Windows): Some versions of XAMPP do not enable mod_rewrite by default (though it is compiled in Apache). To enable it — and thus enable WordPress to write the .htaccess file needed to create pretty permalinks — you must open apache/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment the line LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so (i.e., delete the hash/pound sign at the front of the line).
